E-mail vs. Mail

E-mail is a way to send messages to others through the web. It is remarkably easy to use, and is depended on heavily for many people to communicate. When sending an e-mail the message should arrive to the recipient with in a few minutes from when it was sent. E-mail is used for many different purposes, this is why most people have more then just one e-mail account. When you mail something it is usually a longer process, it has to get picked up from your mail box and taken either by ground or air to the recipient. So mailing is time consuming, but is still needed in certain occasions. For instance you cannot e-mail a box to someone, this is why I believe mail is still around. In other occasions when not sending a box you can usually attach a document to the e-mail so that the recipient can upload it on his/her computer. In my opinion when mailing letters and such the purchase of stamps is a hassle. When e-mailing the worry of having stamps is diminished.
